HOUSING SYSTEM/ HOUSING MANAGEMENT FOR CATTLE
INTRODUCTION Proper housing based on scientific principles is an important aspect of dairy animal management for obtaining maximum productivity of the animals. A clean and comfortable shelter increases the comfort level of the animals and results in their good health. The essential criteria for housing dairy animals include animal health and comfort, hygiene, protection from predators, theft, and diseases, efficient and economical use of labour, and provision of a suitable environment for hygienic milk production. In the absence of proper housing, animals are exposed to extreme temperature, wind, cold, rain, snowfall, etc., which adversely affect their health, production, and reproduction.
